From the Product Edit screen.
Scroll down to and click on:
"Related Products, Up-Sells, and Cross-Sells"
Then click on:
"Add Related Products"
The Click On:
"Filters"
The result is 24 items, most of which I will never use.
But the main problem is the one's I would use mainly "Manufacturer" and Colour (color) do not show!
So obviously my question is how do I go about changing what does and does not show
I found This link:
I thought great that’ll sort it but: The advanced Attribute Properties are already set correctly.
I don’t get the "Default Views" or "Columns" in filters on "Add Related Products"
(I do get them on the basic products page though)
Surely purchasing an extension is not the only option here
Any help would be appreciated as this is driving me round the bend.
Hello is there anybody there?
In the highly unlikely event that no one in this forum does not have the answer:
Is there anywhere else that I can pose this question 
Thanks
